Connecting devices using WPS is very easy and convenient, however, it is not secured.
Just curious about status/thoughts....
I read the link above about the Vulnerabilities. If I read it right, the WIKI talked about 3 methods. The first is a physical access. In the Almond+ this can be address by locking the screen with a pin. It's not not like a physical button. Second is the on-line. Of both the online and offline methods, I am confused about one thing. Does not the WPS have to be active in some sort of manner? I would think if there was not an active WPS session then would it be like not having WPS at all? But for the 3 minutes that WPS is active, the suggestion of a lockdown after x failed attempts would make the brute force attack almost impossible. Since the PIN could be randomly generated on each active WPS, there is not the hangover issue. This kind of dialog is what the Almond+ touchscreen has over anyone else.
I have a Brother 3070CW that was link to my old router in my old house for years. I am having a difficult time getting the WIFI to connect. I have used wire IP to get into configuration, but either I am typing something wrong or there is some compatibility issue. Still trying, had to quit last night for the Dallas/NY game. :-)
